I just received my MFC/MCC membership pack, including my 2015 Platinum Membership card for 52 years consecutive membership. I don't expect anything from the club except the same success the club was

50 years straight as a member is huge

The least the club could do is give the poor bloke a premiership!

Is it possible that this guy is the curse?

He has wasted much of his life.

His sanity must also come into question.

The club needs to cut all ties with this man immediately.

For his own benefit.

From the deepest desires often come the deadliest hate, having got that out of the way no one should expect anything from any amount of years whether it be 10, 50 or whatever, I'm sure he has enjoyed the rollercoaster,the club owes you nothing....

Club needs to provide free counselling for pain & suffering...

Goes to show how far off the mark the club has been in the last 50yrs in getting things right across all departments...

No reflection on current regime, but recognition of milestone members would not be the highest thing on their list....

Why wouldn't it be ? No members, no club.

I have received my 50th year recognition a certificate and a pin. I really appreciate the acknowledgement.

I'm a believer in the famous words of JFK ... "ask not what my country do for me but what I can do for my country"

We're all different and that's fair enough.

I would have loved to have seen a premiership by now though.

It's amazing that all us old supporters don't have a drinking problem.

I don't have a drinking problem, it's getting enough to drink is the problem.

I can hear a groan from some seriously OLD DEEs

Know the feeling PD, as we get older we don't drink any more.

Or any less.

I certainly don't drink any more or less and there will be no New Years resolution to change.

I am still looking forward to enjoying a 2002 bottle of Robbie Flower, signature collection Rare Old Tawny Port when the dees make the finals.

I won't save it for a premiership as the port would probably remain unopened in my lifetime.

I can go one better... I got the Ron Barassi returns to the Dees signature collection port 1981.

nutbean I hope it is Tawny because if it is Vintage port it will be dead in the bottle.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
